construction and in the combination and arrangement of the several partsof my improved transfer holder whereby certaln 1mportant advantages areattained andthe device rendered-simpler, less expensive and 20 otherwisemore convenient and advantageas will be hereinafter more fully ous foruse, set forth. l

The novel features of my invent-ion will hereinafter be definitelyclaimed.

In order that my invention may be the better understood, I, will nowproceed to describe the same with reference to produced;

Figure 2 is a view in sideelevation of the device in applied position;

Figure 3 is a view in top plan of the device in applied position;

Figure 4 is a view in elevation of the holding spring for a pad kor packunapplied.

As particularly illustrated in Figure l of the accompanying drawing, myimproved holder is formed from a single sheet of metal possessing acertain degree of inherent resiliency and in productionl itis to beunderstood that the device is to be of such size and configuration asmay be necessary in accordance with the style of fare box carrier withwhich it is to be employed.

As herein disclosed, my improved holder comprises a body plate l ofrequisite dimensions and configuration but herein disclosed as oblong inform and which has struck from the opposite end portions thereof at itstransverse center the oppositely directed -tongues 2 and 3, the freeends of vwhich being outwardly disposed. These tongues are ,adapted toengage the bars a of the frame comprised in a fare box carrier orrigging.

the acfirmly hold At one end, the body platey 1 at substan-` tiallyit's'transverse center is provided with a lug 4 which in the completedevice, as illustrated l in Figure 3, extends outwardly at right anglesto the plate l and terminates in an inwardly disposed extension 4 saidextension 4 being spaced from the plate lto snugly receive thereunder anend portion of the cardboard back constituting the bottom of all pads orpacks of transfers or the like.

At substantially its longitudinal center.' l l the plate lis providedwith the outstanding relatively short flanges or lugs 5 which constituteguards to provide further means for maintaining a pad or, pack indesired applied position. f

The opposite end of the plate land atopposite sides of its transverse;centeris prowhich are disposed v at right angles to vided with the lugs6` outwardly substantially the plate l and terminate inthe inwardlydirected extensions 16. These extensions 6, are forced into the stub endof the pack or pad of transfers or the like to further assure themaintenance of such pack or pad in applied position.A

The en d ofthe plate l `adjacent to the lugs 6 has extending upwardlyfrom its side margins' the upstanding flanges or wings 7 with which areadapted to be hooked or otherwise engaged' the tractile member 8preferably a spiral spring.

This spring is adapted to be disposed over the stub end portion of theapplied pack or pad and exerts suiiicient tension thereon to pack.

From thev foregoing description itis thought to be obvious that'atransfer yholder constructed in accordance with my invention isparticularly Well adapted for use by reason of theconvenience andfacility'with` which it may be assembled and operated,

and it will also bel obvious that my invention is susceptible of somechange and modification without departing from' the principles andspirit thereof and for this reason I do not wish to be understood aslimiting myself to t-he precise arrangement and formation of the severalparts herein shown in carrying out my invention as hereinafter claimed.
